FASHIONABLE . ENTELL,IGENCE. IDE PRADT'S CONGRESS OF PANAMA UNITED .STATES, PUIL ADELPiI rA, DECEMBER 15, 1825.--BA NIL STOCK.—[u this city yesterdny, 115 to 114. In New York on Tuesday, 113. (From the BostiM Courier ofDec. 14.) 'Mexico.---We have received the two principal Papers of the Mexican capital down to the end of September. The President 'of the Mexiean Union had accepted the resignation of St,Ala men as Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and ap pointed as . his successor ad interim, Sr. Gomez Pedraza. It was said that Sr.'Catuacho, Mem. her. of jhe Sovereign Congress froth Jalapa, would, be nominated to the post. Sr. MiChelena reached the Mexican metropolis on the 9.601.4 Septem ber from England, where he had filW the office of Mexican ambassador. 1.10 was to pro ceed soon to Panama, being . One of' the Dele gates of Mexico to the Congre,,s. The 16th of September, the anniversary of the first Mexican " cry of Liberty," was celebrated by public re joicings. It is remarked with what particular brilliancy the houses of the Plenipotentiary of the -United States and :the Envoy of Great Bri - thin were illuminated. . We most not forget to mention the creation and installation of a Grand Lodge of Freemasons Mexico. It k composed of the first men of the coon t ry.—( Mt/lanai Gaziftte.) (From the Nerd York Caietteq, Der. 1 3.) CoQUINMIBU.- 4 Uttr Boston correspondent, Mr. Topliff, , writes as under date of the 11th inst. as follows :—" Captain Ford informs me that a few days previous to his'sailing, a poor muleteer dis covered on the surface of the earth, about 14, leagues from Coquimbo, a large quantity of silveq which he made known nt This led other persons to the spot, and the result of their search was the discovery of four or five very rich mines, which promised to he almost inexhaus(ible, traced from the silver found by the m leteer. One of the mines was discovered by Mr. Daniel W. Frost, an Ame rican merchant, residing at'Coquimbo, and it . was supposed he would obtain,a grant to work it for his own benefit, as the other discoverers had dour. The Muleteer had been offered 30,000 for the silver discovered. by him, as it lay, on the ground. People were flocking from Co quimbo to the spot in search of silver, so that it wa• extremely difficult to get any bu *bless done at the time the Colon departed."— Letters received in Salem from Madagascar, via Batavia, to June 10, states that a furieus and exterminating war still raged between the natives of different parts of the Island, and that the town.of Mhjinga, the principal trading place in the is,land, had been totally destroyed by one sit the hostile parties, and the inhabitants had all fled to the interior. In consequence of this event, the American vessels there could not obtain car goes, and were about to leave for other places. Other letters add, that the whole Island was in (Teo rebellion to the usurped power of king,Ra dam, and that the greatest confusion existed, and all trade completely stopped. CONGIIES or Past.sstA.-7lt seems •to be, gene rally admitted that the roost important feature in the President's Message is that which indicates a determination to send Ministers to the Congress of American Republics to be held at Panuma. What specific object such a measure, is intended to produce, or what indirect • he'oefit is to .be fix- peeted from it, we are not inforseed;,ed our distance from th e c a pit a l dppriv” us of anylight that might be obtained from the conjectures of these who are in possession of cabinet secrets. Extract of a letter from Inishington to a Gentleman in Rich. mom', dated D.:comber 0. The Message occupit•d one hour in the read• ing, spreml over vast space, and literally goes the whole ! ! The election of yesterday was, as I expected, 'Administration and Anti-Proinistretion., The Administration folks, I pre. mune, got alerted, and united (many against their wishes, as expressed) on Taylor, and he carried the day by a vote or two This commencement augurs no good, towards a peaceful Sea siou I ' _ Qu'situ, DEC. I.—Ttt E SEASON.-- I t is re itiarkAble Out the river is still:perfectly open, end that there is not a piece,of floating ice to he seen. DEC. 3.—The navigation of our river has this year been open for a longer season than usual ; upwards of 31 weeks have elapsed between the arrival of the first shipq, on the 24th April, and that the departure of the lust, the Thetis (which will probably sail this clay); even now no ice is to be seen, and the Laprarie steam-boat arrived yesterday from Montreal, without en. countering any impediment in her passage down. Dcc. s:—The Catholic Bishop of Quebec, Monseigneur J. 0. Plessis, died at two o'clock yesterday, somewhat suddenly. He was speak ing at the time to his medical attendant, awl preparing to write, when he fell back in his chair and expired. COTTON tore.---The article of cotton, the great staple of our southern country, it would seem is about to be brought into requisition for a new and valuable purpose. We learn from a Providence paper that Samuel Greene, of Paw tuxet, (It. 1.) has received a premium at the ex hibition of manufactures in that state, for making cotton cod lines. It is stated that they outlasted the hempen lines employed for the same purpose. The inventor thinks that cotton cables would be more durable than hempen, possess more elasti. city, end the threads being much finer and many thousands twined together, would be stronger. (From the New York .American, Dec. 19.) It is said that the President has appointed Thomas. Williams, late a Senator in Congress fro►n Tennesse, Charge d'Affaires at Gautimala, vice Mr. Miller, deceased. Accordi►►g to a census of the city of New York, just taken, the population is 162,391—0 f these 80,009 are males, and 82,38c2 females. The New York canal tolls this season will amount at least to 500,000 dollars. Last year the amount of tolls was 289,320 8 dollars, thus giving an increase to this year of 210,070 42 dollars. WASHINGTON, DEC. B.—The excess of our revenue has induced many members to talk of a reJlnction of the duties on such articles as enter into the consumption of almost every family, as coffee, teas, cocoa, wines, and salt. It may be necessary to prevent smuggling from the British North American Colonies. Already the importa- Lion of teas into them has been felt by our Chinn merchants. They pay little duty, whilst our du ties are extravagantly high. We pay five dollars on 1001b9. coffee, whilst they' pay only one dol lar. The consequences on all our eastern and northern borders will soon be felt by our revenue, and can be prevented but by a reduction of oar duties. The British colonies have now an open commerce with all the world, and will flourish by smuggling their importations into the United States. Extract of a letter from Mr. Timothy Wiggin g an American gentleman, who has succeeded Mr. Williams, addressed to one of the correspondents of that gentleman in Albany, and published in the Argus : _ _ • • " London, Oct. 27, - 1825. " I have. to inform you that my respectable friend Mr. 'Samuel Williams, of this city, stopped payment on the 24th instant,. and that he has been made a' bankrupt, in - order to in sure a fuir and speedy distriluition of the property. ,Thus shunted, he is anxious to relieve his 11UOINTO11.s correspondents and friends from as much inconvenience us possible, and with this view he requested me to succeed to his -business. I have complied with his request, and commenced business, at his }Muse, No. 13, Finsbury-square,•with•a capital adequate to the undertaking." EQUALITY Or Ilacto..—A decree of the Libe rator, dated Cuzco, July 4th, says, that consi dering equality among all the citizeias to be the basis' of the constitution of the Republic ; that this equality is incompatible with the personal service which has heretofore been forcibly re quired from the- aborigines, and with the exer tions and ill-treatment they have at all periods suffered, while groaning beneath the severe yoke of the civil magistrate!), Alte curates, ca ciques, and even the' planters ; that in the distribution of several sinecurea and offices, they have been unjustly overtaxed ; that the price of the labour to which they have been doomed, against their will, has been defrauding them, that one of the most grievous plague of their existence is the payment of the excessive and arbitrary imposts, which are customarily en forced for the administration of the sacraments; therefore decreed, that no inhabitant of the coin moowealth shall, directly or indirectly, exact the personal service of an aboriginal Peruvian, unless a personal contract be made for the value of his labour, that the Prefects of the Departments, at tendants, Governors, Judges, Ecclesiastical Pre kites and other subordinates, the planters, pro . prietors of mines and factories, who are accus tomed to employ the aborigines, whether wit ling or not, in what is called seventh-day la- I hour, or drafting them by lots to work.on the public highways, ,or other public works, under taken for the benefit of the community, and such as the Governor may hereafter direct, the indi genous inhabitants shall not, as heretofore, he exclusively burdened with the weight of such tasks, for each citizen is bound to contribute his share according to his standing, anti in so far as his abilities extended, that the political authorities through the intermediation of the justices of the peace, or corporate functionaries of the people, are henceforth to provide beasts of burthen, victuals and other articles requisite for the sot-, diary, and these levies are to be made without any distinction of classes, or oppressing the In dians more than the rest of the citizens ; that the price of the day's labour, for all workmen miners, and cultivators of the earth, is to be paid in specie according to the estimate specified in their several comrades, without forcing them in ,the least to receive articles in lieu thereof prices below the , , eirrrertt market, value. The ' faithful roiromeot of the preceding decree is entrusted to the scrupulous vigilance of the in tendants, governors and territorial Commis sioners of the mines. It further enacts, that the aborigines are not to -pay a larger sum for Fro chial taxes or tithes than what is actually esta blished by the existing regulations, or such as the Government may hereafter deem advisable ,to levy ;' that the curates and their deputie3 are. by no means to regulate these imposts, unless through the intervention of the intendant Gayer - nor of the state. All infractions or neglect of the foregoing articles are to be punishable and finable at law, and the Secretary-General ad interim is charged with the execution and fulfil-, meta of the decree. The vines planted in the Crimea, have been productive beyond the most san4uhte expecta, flow. The average quantity of wine yearly, is computed at 6,750060 French pints. The New York American says, " if we are correctly informed, the Freud) Government have recently come to the conclusion absolutely to reject the claims of our merchants for indemnifi cation ; and this conclusion will be, if it has not been already, communicated to Mr. Brown, whenever he presses again for an answer." Thu' population of Lima was formerly esti mated at 100,000, but at present it does not ex ceed 50,000. Many patriot families have emi grated, and some of the old Spaniards have gone to Spain. • A LAMENTABLE CIBEUMSTANCE ocotirrPd at Buenos Ayres on the 30th of. September. As Mr. STEPtiEst. sox, Captain of the merchant ship Tipton Hall, was returning from a ride, he met in the Calle del 25 de Mayo, the procession of the Host, but which he at the time took to be a funeral ; and in order to let it pass without any interruption, he drew his horse as near the wall as possible. In this situation a black man, who was carrying a lanthorn, approached him in such a manner as led hint to suppose he was asking alms, on, which he put his hand in his pocket, for the purpose of giving him some money; but before lie could withdraw it, or even had the least conception of his design, he seized hold of the left hand, and throwing him under his horse, wrenched the first joint of his thumb so violently, and dislocated it so completely, that on recovering his feet he found the sockets ofthe joint protruding through the skin. This atrocious outrage, instead of calling for the interference of the other members of the procession in his favour, appeared to be fully approved of by every one of them ; and we grieve to add, that. in consequence of the, dislocation a locked jaw came on, of which Mr. Stephenson died on the. 21st of October last. He was much respected in his .pro fession. What makes the event doubly distressing is, that the unhappy victim of bigotry and barbarism has leftfour children, who were entirely dependent on him for support. The 79th Highland Regiment at Quebec have discarded the kilts, and now wear the more suit able dress of grey trousers. The number of children who die annually in Russia amounts to little short of one-fourth of the whole mortality in the empire, and is supposed to be owing to the three immersions in cold water which they undergo at the time of baptism.— Among the more enlightened classes warm water is now introduced.

IVe. conclude our notice of this interesting work, by extracting the following spirited pa n i between tire merits of BoLivAtt, and those of WASPINGTON.--NAPOLEON-11114 ITTJFI DE :-- • • As tho Congress of Panama brings me back to the affairs of America, I may be permitted to speak of the actors who, at different periods, have appeared whh the greatest cetat 'On this vast scene, and to compare them, whether with each other, or with personages who haie been placed in similar circum. stances, but who have made a different application of them. Every great, scene brings before the eyes, of the world great actors ; and more particularly in revolutions,. are developed great talents, great characters, courage, devotedness: from their bosoms inevitably spring the. master-spirits Oposnmes elite), whom humanity counts at long intervals, and wham she possesses without knowing, w h ose ex i stence w i thout these revo utiona, had never been revealed, arid who are placed in the course of ages, like torches to light the 'road, and to show mankind how far his genius can attain, when free to expand itself. • " A great character has arisen in South America ;•she•has no longer reason to envy the United States ; and Colombia may , place Or 1301.11VAlt not only by the side of WASHINGTON', but rem still higher. 'When a man appears with some brilliancy in a career, it is natural to the human mind to compare him with those who have been remarked in a nearly similar situa tion ; thiS is the case with Bolivar—the name of Washington is by all mouths pronounced at the sam e moment as hi s . Strange want of reflection ! there is between these two men as great a distance, as between. South America and the old States of the Union. Compare the auxiliaries of Washington—the Franklins, the Adamses, the Jeffersons, with the first corn. panions of Bolivar ; compare the North AMerican population, composed of English, equal to the English of England, with the mixed races of South America—the facility of forming the first, provided with a preparatory education like that of Eu. rope, with the .difficulties of employing usefully the South Americans, among. whom a Spanish education was.prevalent4 compare the North Americans, enjoying the benefits of the English Cmistitation, with the South Americans, laid down for these hundred years beneath the Spanish and monkish despo tism—and you will see on which side are presented the greatest difficulties, and which derives the greatest merit and glory from having conquered them. On one side all was already done, on the other all was yet to do. Calculateonoreover, the duration and dangers of the war waged in the two positions—its • incredible fatigues in such a country as South America, and its immense results, with those of the war in the United States., Did Wash ington pass eleven years under arnuo, as Bolivar has done? and as he still does; dal he, like the latter, hold the sword in one hand, and trace codes with the other ? did he, like Bolivar, deli. ver a neighbouring country with the troops of his own country, which he had effritochised ? HaS Bolivar had such allies as France and Spain ? Has he riot, amidst all the menaces of .Europe, pursued, with an imperturbable frown, the career on which he first entered ? The Revolution of the United . States did, it is true, give the first movement to the social reformation which is operating throughout the universe ; but it was confined to a very narrow sphere; whereas the South American revolu tion has rieveloped this great change, and by the extent and riches of the space which it embraces, it will perfectly complete it. The action of Washington scarcely went beyond his own country ; that of Bolivar embraces the world : let then, the world, In its gratitude, offer him the respect which is due to an universal benefactor, tier such he is, and it is but a debt we pay to him : in Bolivar, the universe is enriched by a name which will occupy a first place among the objects of the just admire, Lion of the human race. "There is above all, one pnint of view in which Bolivar and Washington have been frequently compared; it is, • that of the disinterestedness and patriotic moderation which made them both renounce profiting, for their own elevation, by the power which they acquired.from their great services. Already struck with too many examples in which We have seen bands armed for the service of their country, impose the yoke upon it through the very means confided by it'for its defence. Europe awaited with anxious curiosity, the part that would be tie. sinned by Bolivar; and men, judging by themselves, already saw hint retaining for his own advantage, the power which he had created in his country.. Others formed hopes that he would posaess himself of this pawer„and pleased themselves in foreseeing through that, either facilities to put down the Attie. rican Revolution, or the means of throwing odium, on that and on, every other RevolutiOn,—a vulgar thought, and which a noble mind had rejected with indignation: Since Marius and Sylla, we have been accnstonied to military chiefs appro. priate to themselves theepower ucquired by arms, and enslave their country, after huving gloriously served it. Many were the , hopes founded on this presumed disposition of Bolivar ; but how fur was he himself from entertaining similar ideas ! lie has only evinced one impatience—that of resigning his power : to -*erre::: his. ~ c ountry, to ., seteAmerica free ; such was • his ambltion...ean,imniortel glory. e an imperishuble name, was all at which he aimed.

The , seccess of Iturbicle in Mexico fur. nitthes a proof of this. t were his Aervices quit hie talents compared with those of Bolivar ? and yet lie attained the throne, and would have remained there, had not the intoxication of power blinded his reason, and provoked the excesses which ruined hime Setting aside all that relates to legitintheY, with which we are not occupied, we shall also tied some defect of indgment in another comparison often met with—that of Napoleon and 110. liver. Their positions lied nothing in common ; the one has produced events—the other was dragged onward by them; in o a t t l i t t i e k ce b d u e t ei d ts e , t ri r n u o n il a e rc i h ia — ce for monarchy--in theother, the e tt o w n one tiler s i tuation pa itb) t ae l nr : t r ab e fie w nw e e r itt e itbi e rtt i hir t i h si e ad r all w all as for f i t i t e r en monarchy alone e and the respective chiefs in the two States, have succeeded, the one in tioing - Whate4er lie wished, w hil st the other was led by, the natured things to do that which in all probability was not in his, primitive will, which may not have looked sohigh by itself, but hav e b een l e d t h ere b y i rre. sistible circumstances. • This merit assigne Bolivaret separate place in history ; if there be a 'mortal whose destiny, every thing conmidered, can excite envy, it is that of a man who has put AtlleTiCil in chilies, in order to give her liberty---in,the swaddling clothea of infancy, in ord er to invest her with the robe of the most brilliant manhood ; who, during ten years, warrior, legislator, conquerer, pure of all abuse,, of all arbitrary conduc t , o f a ll excess, instead of placing himself upon the summit of the pyramid he had raised, aspired only to lay at its foot the sword and the fasces of command, content to follow and direct hy, his kola the march of an whole world, in the career which his arm had first made it enter. Certainly, this is fine, grand, worthy of admiration and of envy ; it assures to the mortal from whom so many wonders have emanated, the foremost place that any man has yet occupied among his fellows. We have but one vow to form for this great Man,—that heaven may long permit him to enjoy this incomparable glory, in the bosom of his incomparable country. " The morality of the world, shaken by so many examples of violence, ambition, baseness, and hypocritieel cupidity, stand in need of support.

Tl FROST.—The coachmen on the several roads, particularly on the western and northern roads,' say, that they do not remember a severer frost than they experienced on Sunday night and Monday morning. Those who rernembPr that of 1814, when the Thames was frozen ober, awl booths raised on the ice, declare that they did not feel it so severely, it not hav big come on so suddenly. The houses and trees in the country had a singular appearance on Mon day, owing to the combination of frost stud fog, the trees, and fronts of houses, and even• the glass being covered with thick white frelPt,,. and the glass being no more transparent than ground-glass. Ilalf the shops in featly of the country villages were partially opened ; shops that depended on showing their goods found it us e l es s to remove alt their shatters, as the thick frost on the glass rendered it impossible for them to he seen. The frost has also had a serious ef fect on may articles of food. Oysters are not to hr. obtained ; at least, though a barrel may he wanted to send into the country, the dealers will a not warrant them. Many of the butchers, particu larly in the suburbs, where the frost of course is felt more severely than in the metropolis, are , obliged to keep their shops shut in order to keep out the frost ; but many of them also carried the meat into their parlours, and kept it folded up in cloths round the fires, and unfolded it us their, customers might come in and require it. The market gardeners have also felt the severity of the wea ther—it has stopped their labours; molar 'of the men, attended by their wives, are going about in parties, with frosted grtotts axed at the tops of rakes and hoes, and utitirink the ancient cry of---a Remember the poor frozen out gar.
